DOGS' BEST FRIEND: At Applewild School in Fitchburg, Sally Shepardson of Princeton conducted a drive to collect toys, treats and chapstick for war dogs in Iraq and Afghanistan. As part of the school's "Random Acts of Kindness" project, she used information from two activities on war dogs that she had participated in during her sixth and seventh grade year at Applewild to design this project. Sally made flyers and placed collection bins for donations. She collected over 200 items in three weeks, and mailed them to Major Anarumo in Virginia for distribution in Iraq and Afghanistan.
